The south stand of the Deutsche Bank Park is to be named after Eagles legend Jürgen Grabowski, who died on 11 March. The decision is guaranteed to be a popular one among Eagles supporters, who paid homage to Grabowski during Thursday’s UEFA Europa League clash with Barcelona.
“Yesterday, our fans expressed what every Eintracht supporter has been feeling since the death of Jürgen Grabowski,” said Axel Hellmann, Eintracht Frankfurt Fußball AG CEO. “By renaming the south stand, we can ensure Grabi’s iconic importance to Eintracht Frankfurt is remembered for eternity. The executive board therefore decided just last night to dedicate the south stand in Jürgen Grabowski’s honour.”
